Radio-controlled car
A radio-controlled car (R/C car) is
a powered model car driven from a distance using a radio control
system. Inputs from joysticks (or wheel and trigger) on a transmitter
are sent to the car's onboard receiver. Radio-controlled cars can
range from simple "stop and go" toys to competitive racing
models, which feature all the complexity and adjustability of their
full-size counterparts. Building, driving, and modifying radio-controlled
car kits is a popular hobby.
Consumer electronics
Consumer electronics is a term used
to describe the category of electronic equipment intended for everyday
use by people, the consumers. Consumer electronics are most often
used in entertainment, communications and office productivity. Some
products classed as consumer electronics include personal computers,
telephones, audio equipment, televisions, calculators, and playback
and recording of video media such as DVD or VHS. Popular brands
of consumer electronics include a wide range of American and Japanese
based companies including Apple, Sony, Toshiba, Panasonic, JVC and
others.
Consumer electronics are manufactured throughout the world, although
there is a particularly high concentration of manufacturing activity
in the Far East, in particular China and Singapore, amongst other
countries.[citation needed] The latest consumer electronics are
previewed yearly at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas,
Nevada, at which many industry pioneers speak including Bill Gates
from Microsoft.
One overriding characteristic of all consumer electronic products
is the trend of ever-falling prices. This is driven by gains in
manufacturing efficiency and automation, coupled with improvements
in semiconductor design. Semiconductor components benefit from Moore's
Law, an observed principle which states that, for a given price,
semiconductor functionality doubles every 18 months.
